The more difficult it is to describe a philosophy, the less credible it is. Hubbard describes Scientology as difficult to describe as the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Scientology denies human frailty, and denies the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. That renders Scientology a philosophy of similar value as other philosophies, and indifferent to eternal salvation. Scientologists believe in reincarnation - making it not a science. Science is confirmation of theory with repeatable results. No evidence of reincarnation has ever been presented, and belief has been presented instead.

As an engineer and a severe skeptic, having studied philosophies and the Resurrection, I have come to believe the latter, and have no confidence in Scientology, except as a philosophy that contains some good advice. I think modern physics supports this conclusion. Unfortunately, Scientology plays into the human tendency toward self-delusion.
